If a spring is stretched 4m from its starting length when 20n of force is applied, then how much work (in joules) is done by the

spring when it is stretched 10 m?

ANSWER:

250 J

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

F = 20N is required to stretch the spring by 4 meters

We know that the force is equal to:

F=k\cdot x

We solve for k (spring constant):

k=\frac{F}{x}=\frac{20}{4}=5\text{ N/m}

The work done in stretching the spring is given by the following equation (in this case the stretch is 10 meters:

\begin{gathered} W=\frac{1}{2}k\cdot x^2 \\ \text{ Replacing} \\ W=\frac{1}{2}\cdot5\cdot10^2 \\ W=250\text{ J} \end{gathered}

The work required is 250 joules.

Pavel [41]

Answer:

a=0.45\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

The radius of a bend, r = 20 m

Velocity of motorcyclist, v = 3 m/s

The combined mass of motorcyclist and the motorcycle is 50 kg

We need to find the motorcyclist’s centripetal acceleration. The formula used to find the centripetal acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}\\\\a=\dfrac{(3)^2}{20}\\\\a=0.45\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the motorcyclist is 0.45\ m/s^2.
